But we can be sure that Hord will not be

pleased with our attempts to thwart his plans. He will do

whatever he can to weaken us.

A GALACTIC CRUSADEBook 1 — Zenith, Part 4

Art by Jacques and Shae

Previous episode: Under Marso’s tutelage, Mariner, Tender, Pioneer, and Zeal receive important spiritual and practical training in preparation for their upcoming mission.

Marso reports that you’ve

done well with your training.

We don’t know what we will encounter

on this mission.

This missionwill be fought in the

spirit much more than in the physical.

It is of utmost importance that

we strengthen our hearts against Hord’s attacks.

TOMO

RRO From a young age Tomorro had a desire to teach

children of all ages. He was a very apt student himself when it came to studying Creator and His Words,

something he always had a great love and fascination for. Tomorro has been a tutor for many years helping children of all ages on Zenith to come to know more about Creator, Guide, and the Words found in the Tabernacle of Joy.

APRIL 2005 7

DAY 15

Tomorro sat with us as Guide instructed us about important celestial principles that would aid us in our mission.

As all Zenians, you each have gifts given to

you by Creator.

These priceless treasures will be the keys to victory in this

battle.

Each of you has access to the gifts of the key halos, which we will now practice with more in preparation for our

mission.

DAY 16

8 GEN-UP #26

DAY 22

Because we were eager to learn, we made fast progress.

It's our individual responsibility to see

to it that we don't compromise with

the enemy.

The key halos give you a direct link to

Creator’s power. It is only through Creator that we

will be successful on our mission.

During these days of practice,

you have each made progress in using the

key halo gifts.

On this mission all of you must

become experts.

Each of us has to recognize and fight

anything that would threaten to destroy not just Noth, but our

planet too.

Things are going well on Zenith now, but Hord wishes to destroy Zenith too.

APRIL 2005 9

On Noth, our goal is to

reclaim the lives and lands that Hord

has claimed.

Over the years, many of the surrounding planets

have been weakened by those who have accepted a little of Hord’s influence and a little

of his temptations.

We must fight to hold on to our convictions and what we have been taught.

Some of them fought for a while, but then they gave up and

let Hord’s influence gain strongholds in

their lives.

10 GEN-UP #26

Creator spoke to His people often, through the Globes of Life. A large Globe of Life could be found in each Tabernacle of Joy. These tabernacles were situated in every city throughout Zenith. The Zenians loved going to the Tabernacle of Joy to take time reading and studying Creator’s Words.

The Zenians also had access to the Globes of Life by closing their eyes and focusing on a picture in their minds of a Globe. They could then access Creator’s thoughts and Words from wherever they were. This was made possible through the gift of the key halo that Creator had given to the people of Zenith.

Globe of Life

APRIL 2005 11

Creator had given the Zenians a gift called the key halos, which enabled them to connect to His power and His Globes of Life from wherever they were. The Globes of Life are situated in each city’s Tabernacle of Joy.

Before the gift of the key halos, each Zenian would have to go to the Tabernacle of Joy daily to hear Creator’s Words and to receive His guidance and instruction. One of the most important benefits of the key halos was that a person could access the Globes of Life from wherever he or she was and at any time by just focusing and calling out to the Creator.

The key halos also give access to other powerful gifts from Creator: the gift of healing, the gift of knowing the future, the gift of discernment, the gift of knowing other’s thoughts when necessary, and the gift of miracles in order to protect and help others.

Key Halos

DAY 35

Everyone’s at their post.

In the power of Creator,

here we go! —To Noth!

Soon all was ready for the great day.

Though we were anxious to

launch out on this new adventure, we

were also a little nervous about the great responsibility on our shoulders.

You may leave once you have finished

fueling.

APRIL 2005 13

Tomorro and Set-Free accompanied us, and we began our adventure

with the guidance of Guide and the strengthening Words of Creator.

To be continued.

CoNVICTIONAs disciples in the Endtime, we must fight

for our convictions.

Here’s a helpful reading list on

conviction taken from “The Word

Curriculum,” which I’m following. It’s a cool personal Word project.

It’s important to stay true to our convictions and what we know is right.

Jesus: The definition of a true friend in My book is one who is faithful to tell you the truth in love. Even if it hurts you or your feelings, a true friend tells you the truth because he or she loves you. Friends care for the entire you, which includes your spiritual well-being and your closeness to Me.

A true Friend...

In Proverbs 27:6 it says, “Faithful are the wounds of a friend” (a true friend!). “Wounds” from your friends refers to them speaking up if something is wrong. This is a sign of true friendship. They’re extending the hand not only of true friendship but of truth.

Cool!

Ben, how can I be a

better friend?

Real loyalty is being loyal to what’s right. If you’re not able to stand up for what’s right amongst your friends, then you’re doing them a disfavor. You’re not being loyal at all because you’re allowing them to be hurt and to go astray; you’re allowing their walk with Me to be hurt.

TRIP!!

We might not feel like praising...

Thank You, Jesus, the ship isn’t totally destroyed and

can be fixed.

c ra sh

You’re right.

...but insteadof getting angry, Jesus

wants us to try to praise Him when things go

wrong.

Real friendship is built on being honest, on helping each other to do the right things according to the standard of the Word. You shouldn’t let your friend do something if you know it’s wrong. You should speak out and remind your friend to do what’s right. If you have the mistaken idea that not saying anything is showing your friend loyalty, then your thinking is wrong.

BE HONEST WITH YOU.

I’m so sorry!

LOYAL FRIENDS ARE...

I can fix it now.

Real friends don’t want to see each other doing the wrong things and ending up getting hurt, hurting others, or going astray. So it’s wrong to expect your friends to never speak up about wrongdoing. The reason your friends speak up to you is because they love you and they don’t want you to get into something that’s going to cause a problem.

Oh well, praise the Lord. I had built part of it

wrong.

By Grandpa, written in 1973 when he was in England (ML #262, Vol. 2, adapted). Art by Eman (Illustrated in 1978, to use in witnessing.)

It was underground with brightly lit passageways or corridors. Instead of caves or catacombs, it was almost like a hospital, and it had very nice polished floors. We were wandering along looking at things, trying to peek into the different rooms to see what was in them. In each room there were different people doing different things, all very busy. It seemed like everything that everybody was doing was totally useless and just a waste of time. They were all very, very busy, accomplishing nothing!

GREEN DOOR! VI S OI N

It reminds me a little bit of “Alice in Wonderland.” Maria was like Alice, leading me along by the hand. I don’t know how we got down there. I think maybe we were out walking and found this passageway and I wanted to explore it.

We came to this big lobby with a big reception desk.Please escort

Mr. Jones to his

room. Here’s his

assignment and

the key.

Yes, sir.

Right away.

Please come

with me, Mr.

Jones.

The people were first registered at the desk, and then they were assigned their room and job. if they were a student, they got their assignments; if they were in the military, they got their orders.

Everything was not only endless and futile, but sort of backwards. I had the feeling things were either inside out or upside down! So peculiar. It was as though if you turned your head at the right angle or moved around the people at a different angle, you’d move out of their dimension and they’d vanish, like what happens when you look at a three-dimensional postcard pictures.

I moved around the end of the desk and looked at them edge on…

Please sign

here, Mr. Smith.

…and they just… …vanished!

22 GEN-UP #26

The keepers or overseers were definitely different than the rest of the people there. They were sort of magical. Their skin-tight suits seemed to be magically powerful. They could fly in these suits, and they were resistant to injury as though they were spirit beings. Only they looked like people. They were in charge of the “hospital,” and seemed to be running the whole operation.

Find those two

intruders and stop

them! They’re not

registered and they

don’t belong here.

Stop them!

The keepers are sure to be

looking for us. We’ve got to

find a way out!

Not yet, honey. We’ve got to

find out more about this place

before we leave, so we can

warn everyone else.

APRIL 2005 23

We ran outside the “hospital” for a while. Even out there was nothing but battlefields, hellish wars, machinery, factories, industries, evil scientific experimentation, and so on.

The soldier was on the battlefield, with bombers zooming overhead, and shells screaming and landing all around him. He seemed to be going through the endless hell of war, reliving his battlefield experiences on earth, but now with no hope of it ever ending!

24 GEN-UP #26

There was nothing but endless factories, chemical plants, refineries, industries, and a horrible mess. There were endless conveyor belts and assembly lines, and a horrible burning smell—choking foul fumes! The closest thing I can think of on earth that’s like it is these big cities with all of the buildings, factories, battlefields, rocket launching pads, and automobiles.—All of these horrible inventions of man, obviously inspired by the Devil. There was no end, no peace, and no rest. And you didn’t know what was truth! Everybody just had to keep going.

The scientists of false science were conducting their endless experiments that never bore satisfactory results. They were shooting rockets into space that either never got off the ground or never went anywhere. It was a very well-organized place, but it was hell!

APRIL 2005 25

Part of the time it seemed like the “hospital” was one huge, gigantic ship. I remember going out to the stern and looking out and it was all dark like night. The huge ship was moving slowly down this big black river, a very scary kind of river with deep dark water. I thought to myself at the time, “It looks like the River Styx—the river of death!”

Along the sides were ships that had already arrived and were anchored or moored*.

Those are thousands of years

old! I wonder when they got here.

They must have come a long time

ago to be so old. What a dark,

terrifying, mysterious place. How

frightening this place is!

They were very ancient ships. Some looked like old Egyptian barges, Roman galleys, and Grecian vessels.*moor: to tie a ship or boat in place

26 GEN-UP #26

The river seemed to move on relentlessly slowly. Everything kept moving at a very slow pace, but no stopping, you never stopped! It was so horrible and dark and scary outside the “hospital” that we ran back into the building and continued searching its endlessly lit corridors and rooms. We passed by one room where a seamstress was sewing away, but never got anything finished. The seamstress was called Gracie, and she was sewing on this jacket.

She embroidered a name on the back of the jacket, and she turned the inside or seam side up to show it to us. It’s funny, but she didn’t show us the nice back, but the other side!—And it said...

APRIL 2005 27

See? It’s my

boss’s name.

I didn’t Understand who Mr. Coosa was, so we went to his secretary’s office. There was this sad little secretary who was sitting there at her desk typing away, those endless sheets of paper, like she was chained to her desk forever! She said...

Mr. Coosa will

see you in just a

moment. Please

just wait and

he’ll register you.

I don’t want to

be registered

here! I’m not

staying, I’m

leaving. Come on

Honey!

Oh my! One of

the keepers is

following us!

As we came out of Mr. Coosa’s office, one of the keepers, a very handsome gray-haired gentleman (who later turned out to be Coosa himself) began following us down the hall. Then he called Gracie to follow him to his room or apartment. I turned and yelled at her... To be continued.

Jesus: Imagine the thrill of flying

into space . . . the excitement of blasting off,

and of going further than any ordinary man

has gone before. (ML #3380:91, GN 987)

Jesus: The way to be happy is to make others happy,

and the way to be happiest is to make Me happy above all others. I am the Maker of happiness. . . . While [you] may seek and find thrills of the flesh, it cannot give [you] happiness of spirit; for that is Mine to give, and I give it

to those who seek to bring happiness to Me.

(ML #3380:80, GN 987)

Jesus: If you want to beone of My Endtime witnesses,

you must be willing to train and prepare for it, just as those who run in the Olympics don’t go

straight to the big games. They have to train and prepare. . . .

So it is with you. (ML #3512:123, GN 1100)
